Bright Eyes - Lime tree

I keep floati^Dng down the river but the ocean never come^F#ms S^Dince the operation I heard you're breathing just ^Gfor one

Now ever^Emything is imaginary, especially wha^A7t you love You lef^Emt another message said it's done, It's don^Ge ^D

When I hear ^Dbeautiful music it's always from another time ^F#m Old frie^Dnds I never visit, I remember wh^Gat they're like

Stan^Emding on a doorstep full of nervous butt^A7erflies W^Emaiting to be asked to come inside Just ^Gcome inside ^D

But I keep go-o-^Emo-o-oing out ^A7 I can't slee^F#mp next to a stranger when I'm coming^Em down ^G

It's 8 a^Em.m. my heart is beating too loud, Too lou^Gd ^D Em A7 F#m G Don't be-e^G-e-e so ama-a-a-azing or I'll miss you too much

I f^Emelt something that I had never touched ^{G D}

^DEverything gets smaller now the furt^F#mher that I go Towards the mouth and^D the reunion of the Known and the Unknown ^G

Consid^Emer yourself lucky if you think of it ^A7as home

You can move mountains ^Emwith your misery if you don't, If you don't ^{G D} It c^Domes to me in fragments, even those still split ^F#min two

Under the leaves^D of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit ^G Some were ripe an^Emd some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the tr^A7uth

There will never ^Embe a time more opportune ^{G D}

So I just won't^Em be late ^A7 The window closes, sh^F#mock rolls over in a tidal wave ^{Em G}

And all^Em the color drains out of the frame ^{G D} So plea^Emsed with a daydream ^A7that now liv^F#ming is no good ^G

I took off^Em my shoes and walked into the woods ^G I felt lo^F#7st and found with every step I took ^{G D}
